A. Yes, "P-120" often refers to Calpol P-120, which is a pediatric formulation of paracetamol (acetaminophen) used to reduce fever and relieve pain in children. ### Key Information About Calpol P-120: - **Active Ingredient**: Paracetamol (acetaminophen). - **Dosage**: The dosage depends on the child's weight and age. It is crucial to follow the dosing instructions on the label or as prescribed by a doctor. - **Uses**: Typically used for reducing fever and relieving mild to moderate pain such as headaches, toothaches, and minor aches. ### Administration: - **Liquid Form**: Calpol P-120 is often available in liquid form for easy administration to children. - **Measure Accurately**: Use the provided measuring device to ensure the correct dosage. ### Safety Precautions: - **Avoid Overdosing**: Paracetamol can be harmful in excessive amounts. Ensure you do not exceed the recommended dosage. - **Check Other Medications**: Ensure that any other medications your child is taking do not also contain paracetamol to avoid accidental overdose. - **Consult a Doctor**: If your child has liver issues or any other medical conditions, consult a doctor before administering. If you have any doubts or questions about administering Calpol P-120, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional.
